Happy 73rd Birthday to My Sweetheart!


Can you guess what day my husband was born on?  Yep Ground Hogs Day!  I wanted to do something TOTALLY different and decided to make this medallion "card".  I had WAY too much fun making this one.  I used a sizzlit set that I'd never used but had lying around for ages called Big Bold Cupcakes.  I used the Scor-Pal to score the lines both on the medallion and the cupcake paper.  I hope that this holds together as I used several strips of Red Sticky Tape to hold the 1 1/4' circles I punched out which are underneath the two decorations.  The ground hog is from a set of animals that SU had YEARS ago.  I could probably get rid of the rest of them as this is the only one I ever use. :)))   Actually everything on David's "card" is retired from SU and I can't remember the names of the sets - :(  I put Dazzling Diamonds on the chocolate frosting but it didn't photograph well.  I also colored the red Basic Rhinestone with a red Sharpie pen.  Let's go see . . . 

What's cookin':
Stamps:  All retired from Stampin' Up!
Paper:  Crispy Creme (can't remember the real name and too lazy to look it up in the book!); Pear Pizzazz Textured (each strip 3" x 12" and I used two); Chocolate Chip for frosting
Ink:  Chocolate Chip
Accessories:  Big Bold Cupcakes Sizzlit; Basic Rhinestones; Red Sharpie Pen; Scor-Pal; Dazzling Diamonds Glitter
